Playing tough defense is always the key in the tournament.

I looked up and gave them a fist because they worked as hard as I did for this. I appreciate everything they've ever done for me. I love them so much. I gave my little brother (Chase, 10) my district medal and he was so excited. I told him he won it too, because it was definitely a family effort.

They've always been a throw-around, slow-paced team. They will try to limit our shots and try to play a ball-control offense.

Daniel was getting easy drives and so many good looks. They were eventually going to have to collapse. That third quarter was when I opened up. That is supposed to be what my game is.

The whole community is embracing us right now. Any time I have people I don't even know coming up to me, shaking my hand and telling me congratulations and good luck, you want to play for people like that. You are going to give everything you have. That's what we do every time we step out on the court.

Both teams had a great crowd, but there was no doubt, looking over and seeing everybody there, it's like a home game.
